Hi All

I'm now at the stage where I need to start heavily advertising my
new handyman business.

I'm looking at a thing called "The Pink Card".

It's about A4 size, with the top quarter occupied
by essential telephone numbers.... police, hospitals,
gas, electricity, trains, buses, crimestoppers, etc.

The rest of the card is sponsored advertisers for
various home services, for this area. The rear of
the card is for us to add our own useful numbers.

We do keep it by the phone (for the top numbers),
but have used one of the tradesmen's numbers.

Pink Card is at 08700 602 138 and there should be
many more who produce such things, maybe even a
local company.

BTW: I would have thought that OAP's could be the
best source of handyman business these days. OAP's
don't generally have a computer and are not usually
out and about a lot. So best access to OAP's is
probably leaflets through the letterbox.
